Hi folks,
first some quick notes regarding upcoming PyPy sprints. After the
EuroPython 2005 sprint we decided that we are going for a
sprint that i am organizing at my living and working place,
Trillke-Gut in Hildesheim, Germany. It is going to start 25th
July and last until 31st July 2005. Especially already scheduled
participants please look at
http://codespeak.net/pypy/index.cgi?extradoc/sprintinfo/Hildesheim2-sprint.html
for some more information (and correct wrong dates!).
The strong focus will be on getting a self-contained PyPy
version working. Really. This time the sprint is only open for
everybody who already knows PyPy. If you'd like to attend
please send me a private mail. I am trying to find private
accomodation for everyone.
Please excuse the extremely short notice but the final
decision was only taken end of last week and i have been
somewhat busy. Most of the currently active developers
knew about this coming for a longer time, though.
For the end of August 2005 Carl Friedrich Bolz is organizing
a sprint more open to new people. This is going to take place
at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. More details will
be announced soon.
While we are at it: in the further away future, it's likely there
will be a sprint in Paris around early October, organized by Logilab.
And if you can imagine helping us to organize a PyPy sprint at
your place, then please drop us a mail! For example, we
haven't been to basically the whole of South Europe :-)
For your information, we have started last thursday a practise
of having all active pypy developers (and in particular those
involved in the PyPy/EU project) meet on IRC for 30 minutes.
This XP-style meeting is meant to synchronize our dev work better
and give us a body to quickly decide about directions and issues.
The first minutes of the pypy-sync meeting can be found here:
http://codespeak.net/pypy/index.cgi?extradoc/minute/pypy-sync-07-14.html
This "active developers" meeting will take place every thursday
at 1pm (GMT+2/Berlin) for 30 minutes with a half-fixed agenda.
It is not really open to spectators, i guess. Those have to
wait for the minutes :-)
If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to
share them here on the list.
cheers,
holger
